On court one, ninth-ranked Amber Liu posted a 6-2 win in the first set and then held for a 7-6 (10-7) win in the second set to upset fourth-ranked Suzi Babos. Barnes, Logar and Anne Yelsey each earned a two-set victory to help the Cardinal defeat the Golden Bears, while Deason overcame a 2-6 first set loss with 6-0 and 6-2 wins to take the match.

Stanford will be back in action next week, as the Cardinal travels to Ojai, Calif., on Thursday, April 21 for the Pac-10 Championships.
